"I was spending the majority of my time living in a hazy dreamworld, searching for something positive to hold onto, I felt that no matter what, I still had me and my own personal freedom of mind, and there was something comforting about that. Somewhere between my partially self-induced cabin fever madness and a sense of unshakable positivity in an unusual time, I wrote Borderline. I guess it's a song for people with nowhere to go, and how not knowing where you belong isn't always a bad thing."

Jamie Beale has today released his new single titled ‘Borderline’. The song got me from that bassline on. It’s got that infectious quality about it that says ‘underground’ but whispers ‘timeless’. I kind of wish this song came out when I was a kid so it could have influenced my musicianship. It has that way about it. That way where it says ‘come along, if you want…’ know you will but wanting you to anyways.

With a dark hook and a willful riff, ‘Borderline’ takes you across said border and lets your heart find a new home.

About Jamie Beale

Taking to writing after a whirlwind year, and increasingly isolated period of his life, songwriter Jamie Beale is set to release his debut single ‘Borderline’ on April 8th; taken from his upcoming debut album out later this year.

Beale has an array of musical achievements under his belt; as vocalist and songwriter of Bristol-based rock band Novatines he’s toured the UK and Europe extensively and has received international radio play on BBC Radio 2, 6 Music and Radio X.

Self produced and engineered by Katie May from Real World Studios, Borderline hits like a sugar rush. The track, an enchanting blend of indie-rock, dream-pop and acid-funk, blends dewy guitar textures, soaring harmonies and synth-laden soundscapes backed by the track’s shuffling drums and tantalizing grooves.

This, coupled with his melancholic lyrics and unwavering romanticism, sees Jamie managing to find nostalgia in the present.
